Isn't that the Republican senator Lucas fell out with and named Nute Gunray after? 
Um.... yeah. He's the last chap I'd guess to be on a show like this.
Aside from Reagan.

Well, considering that Reagan is dead... 
I'm somewhat surprised that either Newt or Peloci would go on a Star Wars special, since that doesn't strike me as something they'd do. I'm sure both will laud Palpatine on his superb political maneuverings.

That's all you really need to know. Formerly a very powerful member of the Republican Party, he was Speak of the House during the Republican control of the House in the late 90s. He was heavily involved with the "Contract with America" legislation passed during that time. He currently is a commentator for Fox News.
I'm sure he, Pelosi and any other pols on the special will speak in a general fashion on how Star Wars has affected the US in general, perhaps the vernacular used in politics, etc. Pelosi, as she was a stay-at-home-mom for many years, perhaps may add her insight as a mother whose children saw Star Wars.

I saw a preview clip of this today and it looks like it's going to be quite interesting. Although if it turns out that Newt Gingrich is a Star Wars fan, I may have to go home and re-think my life.

Oh jeez.
Read the damn TV guide wrong.
I'll watch it in six days when it actually premieres. Or the twenty times after that it'll be on History.

Like I'd post that anyway.
"Um...yeah...anyone else find it funny that Nute Gunray is probably named for one of the people on this show?"

I *think* we can get The History Channel on Cable and Satalite? As for when or if it'll ever be on terretrial TV, I have no idea.
